Collaborate with computational chemists and modelers on the application of Schrödinger's computational platform for rapid advancement of drug discovery programs

What you should have:

PhD in synthetic organic or medicinal chemistry

At least four years of drug discovery experience in a pharmaceutical and/or biotech setting

Extensive experience in working with external chemistry teams at CROs

Contemporary knowledge of key Medicinal Chemistry concepts and good understanding of biology, pharmacology, drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics

Any of the following would be a plus:

Experience in leading drug discovery projects (as medicinal chemistry lead or project lead)

Experience with therapeutic modalities beyond small molecules (e.g., degraders, peptides, ADCs)

Pay and perks:

Schrödinger understands it's people that make a company great. Because of this, we're prepared to offer a competitive salary, equity-based compensation, and a wide range of benefits that include healthcare (with dental and vision), a 401k, pre-tax commuter benefits, a flexible work schedule, and a parental leave program. We have catered meals in the office, a company culture that is relaxed but engaged, and over a month of paid vacation time. Our Administrative and Human Resources departments also plan a myriad of fun company-wide events. New York is home to our largest office, but we have teams all over the world. Schrödinger is honored to have been included in Crain's New York Best Places to Work, BuiltIn's NYC Best Place to Work, and Newsweek's list of America's 100 Most Loved Workplaces.

Estimated base salary range: $150,000 - $200,000. Actual compensation package is dependent on a number of factors, including, for example, experience, education, degrees held, market data, and business needs. If you have any questions regarding the compensation for this role, do not hesitate to reach out to a member of our Strategic Growth team.

As an equal opportunity employer, Schrödinger hires outstanding individuals into every position in the company. People who work with us have a high degree of engagement, a commitment to working effectively in teams, and a passion for the company's mission.

To us, "diversity" isn't just a buzzword, but an important element of our core principles and key business practices.
